Did you get this done Jonathan? I’m looking for someone that actually uses their truck and this lift for offroad. To see if it’s durable and withstands going offroad.
Honestly I always made fun of it myself until I drove with them both ways. It’s hard to see about anything with them down. Blind spots are basically everywhere. With them up, you can see absolutely everything perfectly. The tow mirrors are meant to be up it feels like. Chevy and Ford tow mirrors are always up, so I guess it makes sense.
I am glad to hear that you can put a lift on these trucks with the air suspension. I just bought a 2022 ram 1500 limited with the air ride suspension and I would like to put a little bit more height on the truck watching this video makes me feel a lot better because I looked online everywhere and it seems like everyone says you cannot do it.
As a ram owner with tow mirrors..... I'm embarrassed to be a ram owner every time I see another ram with the mirrors out when not towing 🤮 Nice review though, I've been curious how a lift on top of air bags would go, nice looking truck too
Love Sam's truck. You don't see many Limiteds lifted due to the air suspension, but BDS and Carli makes some of the best quality lifts for those. Those big 35s with air suspension probably make for one smooth ride!
Ya don't see many lifted limited because why? Its a look at me I have money truck, when I've lifted vehicles it's because I actually take em off road and get em dirty, I don't think that's happening here, so worse gas mileage, higher clearance, and literally no real reason for it. I mean I get it, it looks nice, but as I said, purely a look at me look at me kinda thing imo.
Hi Ben I just started watching your videos you do a excellent job on your reviews, always basically a good word for the vehicle’s you do never slamming anything just giving your honest opinion so good job and that Ram what a beautiful truck but I went with a Titan and just love it. Thanks for the videos Ben so informative
Funny how the mirrors get to people so much. I tow like 3 times out of the week and sometimes I forget to put the mirrors down. Don’t see the big problem. 😂
Awesome video! making my decision on the BDS lift. Just wanted to know where can I get those aftermarket brackets for the Tonneau cover to fit the multifunction tailgate?
You said there isn't any negatives but unless you have a Ram dealer install it and they are willing to warranty it you could be messing with your warranty. If you ever had problems with the 4x4 system, suspension system or transmission then you could be screwed.
How to get that “10th anniversary” welcome screen to show? I have my Limited 2022 is 10th anniversary but the welcome screen shows “Limited” when starting up!!
Can u still use 4 wheel auto and 4 wheel lock? I heard some lift kits advise you not to use 4 wheel auto when lifted. It damages or wears parts faster Unless I’m mistaken
Your speedo is actually showing a slower speed then what youre actually traveling. Say speedo says 72mph, you actually gking 78ish mph. I have this exact setup but on 20" rims on my 2021 ram limited.
Owned my 20' limited for 2 winters now and zero issues and temps have reached single digits to about 3 below a couple times. Not 1 prob so far, knock on wood! I'm in the northeast but def not a Canadian winter.
@@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK not really. i have had both offsets and you can barely tell. theres maybe a 1/4 inch or less difference to how much tire pokes out of the wheel well
I got the brackets from rightonbracket’s website. Go to the menu in the corner, click specialty products and you’ll see ‘Ram Brackets’ right there. I bought them and the dealer installed them for me. They were excited to know there’s a solution. The tonneau cover is just a Mopar brand tri-fold cover. Super nice. Absolutely love the setup and couldn’t be happier!
Just ordered close to the same truck, except added the off-road package, which wish came with 35s. They don’t mention any issue with cover not fitting the MFT.
@@ValkyrieIA congrats! You’ll love it. Does yours have the Rambox’s? If so, you won’t run into the bed cover issue. If it doesn’t, that’s where the brackets come in to play and cause the issue. But at least we found a way to fix it!
Sam, It will have the Ram Boxes. Deciding between Bak mx4, F1 or an Extang. Wasn’t aware the MFT might cause an issue. First pickup and not familiar with them. Lot of choice and limited reviews. Coming from Jeep Unlimited -lifted with 35’s. Your setup looks great with those.
@@skmadsen1010 Hi Sam can you answer a question for me? I reached out to BDS an they said they currently do not offer a 4 inch air ride lift for the 2022 ram 1500 limited. how did you get it done?
@@johnstougard8882 I guess they haven’t technically changed the status on their site to show it fits for 2022’s but Ram didn’t change anything for ‘22, so anything that fits a ‘21 will fit the ‘22 as well, even if it’s not updated on their system. The shop I bought mine from knew that and didn’t even question whether it would fit or not. And it fits with no issues!
I have a 2022 Limited Longhorn with the factory air suspension. I am interested in doing a 2 inch lift, but only by utilizing airbag spacers. I cannot seem to find enough information online about doing this, would anyone like to chime in whether this is a valid direction to go or not? Thanks!
I own a 2020 Limited w/air suspension and the 4" bds kit,the same as in thus video, is the smallest I've found searching the internet for 2 yrs. I currently just have the rough country level kit.

@@landofnor it’s hard to say because I had this done after only having it for about a week and a half. And the first few hundred miles are usually poor MPG because you’re breaking the engine in. So I’m not positive. I get about 13mpg though. That’s with pretty mixed city and highway driving.
@@CrumResearch I had the Ram dealer install it after I bought it. They did an excellent job. BDS says it for Ram 1500 with air suspension years 2019-2021 but it works with the 2022’s as well. Mine didn’t have a problem. 10/10 recommend and will do it again.
It’s subjective. Better headlights on my Limited (Longhorn) over my old Laramie or Rebel for sure - I prefer to tint the full windshield also so it does help at night. Better interior & preferred interior package options available. Ventilated rear seats. Maybe a couple other small things I’m missing but that’s about it.
@@skmadsen1010 I've talked with two dealers in Texas and both of them won't put the lift on for some reason. I guess I just need to find a different dealer.
@@lancel78 that’s strange! I would call around to places that do tires and lifts. Also try talking to someone in the parts department specifically at the dealer. That’s what I did.
I can’t find a dealership in my area that will do anything more than a 2” without voiding the warranty. What dealership did you use. I might ship my 22 there.
@@SeanAlfonso that really surprises me. I used Larry H. Miller Ram in Sandy, Utah. It’s where I bought my truck too. Second one I’ve bought from them. They’re super honest, gave me top dollar for my last truck I traded in and even discounted my new one which doesn’t happen anywhere in this market. Their service department did the install and didn’t have a problem. Doesn’t void the warranty and BDS even adds their own warranty for extra protection. I couldn’t be happier.

I've got this truck with a 6 inch lift and it's exactly the same quality. I love it. Not ridiculous at all.

Your Ram 1500 reviews are the best. Thanks.

Nice review though, I've been curious how a lift on top of air bags would go, nice looking truck too
I drive with mine down but I have to admit, you can see a whole lot better with them up than down.
Larger tires than stock make the speedo read lower than actual speed. Less rotations per mile with larger tire.
Correct. I was wondering if I was hearing him wrong.
Great review as always. But larger tires make the speedometer slower.
The truck looks best when it was at entry height mode. About a 2 inch lift over stock with that size tire.
I sold my 2021 air ride cause i wanted to go higher on my 1500 22 has a 10inch fts lift kit on 40s!
The normal ride height looks way better. That's a great looking stance.

@@williamlott9066 depends on your tire selection, tire trade ins?, and mechanic but ~4K. BDS kit w fox is about $2,900 on its own. Hope that helps.

Hey Ben which truck rides better, gen 3 raptor or a stock ram 1500 limited?
Great info. The ram limited lifted is best setup out.
Hi, how was the gas mileage affected after the lift / 35s?
Awesome video! making my decision on the BDS lift. Just wanted to know where can I get those aftermarket brackets for the Tonneau cover to fit the multifunction tailgate?
What setup is this?
The wheels look like the stock 22" rims that came on my 2019 limited.

Shocking to know Ram is only 10 years old, hence the 10th anniversary.
Ram limited edition you clown
THe Limited was 10 years old...
Got a link for this lift kit?
It is a really pretty lifted 4x4 Cadillac. Because this is 4inch what did it do to your warranty? Because that's the perfect amount of lift.
BDS lifts do not effect the factory warranty
@@steveshelpman4239 thought that was up to 2 inches?
How’s the air suspension in the cold winter? I hear people having problems in Canadian winter.

That have HUD too?
What is the mpg after?
14
Should of used Google maps to see speed differences
Why the steering wheel needs to be adjusted?
You always need to adjust the tracking after fitting a lift kit. Surprised they didn't do it when it was installed
